I'm curious what others have done. I've done 22 total twice:
14-9-12-11-11-14-13 B
14-20-21-8-14-4-3 B (and I know lots have done similar to this design)

Anyone under 20?

I would think around 15 would be about the minimum possible to survive, but what do I know?

The lowest three for me are 8/14 AB, 15/9 AB, and 3/21 WS.

9(11)-7(9)-12-11(13)-9(11)-21-15(17) TP - 20 base

13(14)-11(12)-13-15(17)-9(11)-13(14)-10(11) Plunger - 24 base

I got to 20, but not under it. FYI - that TP was one of my original five, the plunger approx. my third ever replacement. Can you tell I like training stats in the 80s? Of course, that means the totals weren't that low at graduation, just at birth.

Right now, he has 3 experts; he is also 1 skill and 1-3 skills away from experts in two other areas. (still 6 or 7 away in the last area )

With a little luck he'll graduate with at least experts in all 6 areas.

I graduated a 14/10 slasher about 18 years ago, as well as a 15/9 aimed blow a year or two ago.

Funny thing is, the slasher was sent to the DA after about 10 fights, lived, and I said what the heck. He is now one of my Contenders tourney warriors.

The AB I am almost positive I sent to the DA his first turn, but when he didn't go there, and he actually won his first turn, and came back bonussed in attack, I decided to play him some. He started off some crazy number like 8-1-2, so I kept him till he graduated at 15-6-2. What a fluke.

Many, many many 15-9's. Too many 15-7's. At least two 13-7's. At least 1 of 11-9, and at least one of 11-7, plus one, for sure, of 4-15 and 3-15.

4/15 AB was probably my lowest to date. Only character I've had that had multiple trains where number of skills learned was greater than his wit.

Others have been more standard 17/5 ST, and 15/7 ST and AB.

Hey, Big Dog,

You ARE one if you are participating with all of us and enjoying this great passion! You da man

Besides, some of the things many of us have reported above are not necessarily items to be greatly proud of. Some can be a little embarrassing.
